If we’re talking a straight fight though, no Starships, no complications, and we’re talking both in their prime, Kirk wins. Picard is a competent fighter but Kirk’s brawler skills combined with his insane luck are the stuff of legend.

Picard may be the superior tactical captain overall as well as diplomat, in general just being a better captain but he ain’t beating Kirk in a fight. Even in a starship, Kirks’ tactical ability was renowned along with his crew, although it’s much more equal there. Picard did create the Picard maneuver afterall..

So one on one fight, Kirk. Ship to ship battle…much harder to say, but if they both have ships of equal capability I think while it’d be narrow, Kirk could still win. Picard’s a brilliant tactical captain, but Kirk’s an insane tactical captain. No one pulls last minute Indiana Jones esque escapes and counter attack plans on the spot like Captain Kirk.

Well jean luc is my favorite captain and I think he is simply better but in hand to hand combat Kirk would kick his ass

I’m sorry to say this, but Kirk. Jean Luc is awesome and does have Geordi, but, seriously. Kirk has Sulu the homosexual who seemed a little conflicted at times in the show, Scotty, the miracle worker, who later reveals he overestimates times, and of course Chekov, who will probably smart ass his way through the fleet.
